Most transparent amp you've heard?
Hi guys, You want me to define what I mean by transparent. To me a transparent component is one that passes the signal with the least harm to the signal passing through it.How do you know if one component is causing less harm than another? I guess...

Hi Lance, I listened to the innersound amps on my speakers at my dealers before I bought the Kayas. He also had a Parasound A51 which is similar to my A21. I preffered the Parasound. He was using a Parasound surround processor for a preamp which I... 
Halcro with electrostats?
Pkancel, I've only heard the dm-58s. My Innersound Kaya speakers would need the dm-68 or dm-88. I would have to buy used and save for awhile for those.Just wondering if it would be worth it.I want my next amp to be something I don't feel the need ...

Terry, You prefer the new Spectons to the Pass XA200.5 on your speakers? Thats pretty impressive. I haven't heard either but I'm going to RMAF this year so I'll check them out. Sean

Thanks for your responces. There's not a lot of Kaya owners out there, so i didn't expect alot of experience with them. My Parasound A21 drive them pretty well I just want a little more headroom. Their impedance drops to about 2 ohms at 20k hz.I l... 
16K to Spend. Help me make the end all Upgrade.
I just noticed your room size and 20Ts won't work. The sophias are the only speaker small enough for that room thats on your list. You might try a sub with them if you want deep bass.

Used Aerial 20Ts are in your price range and should satisfy for a long time. Much nicer looking but also large. 
Aesthetix Calypso - High or Low Gain Setting?
I find that there is more magic with the higher gain setting but more tube noise. With good tubes this won't be a problem for most.I use mullard cv4004s and amperex 7308s with good results.Sean 
What amp would be good for the Aerial 7b's
I've owned Aerial model 6 and then upgraded to model 9s. I used a Parasound Halo A21 with both and i could get the amp to clip at loud volume if the music contained deep bass on the model 6s. I had no clipping issues with the model 9s. The model 9... 
Martin Logan Summit
I have heard the Summits run with Mac 501s at a dealer with good results. Parasound Halo JC-1s would probably work well also.I'm running Innersound Kayas with a Parasound Halo A21. This combo will go over 100 dbs with out clipping but I think they... 
Clipping
Your gonna need alot beefer amp than that to drive those Summits. 
Recommended SS amplifiers for Aesthetix Calypso?

Are planar speakers less prone to room interaction
Also Innersound speakers and Sanders Sound speakers are more directional than Martin Logan because the panels are flat. The compromise is a small sweet spot but much less room interaction at mid to high frequencies. 
Are planar speakers less prone to room interaction
I just bought some used Innersound Kayas because they are designed to not interact with the room like most speakers. They work great in my 15x13 room. They sounded great in the much larger room of the dealer i bought them from also.Innersound is o...
